Mini Profile

This week, Jason Forrest (aka DJ Donna Summer, former host of WFMU's Advanced D&D, proprietor of the Cock Rock Disco & Nightshifters labels), unleashes the first new material under his own name in over 6 years. Though in some respects it's a return to form, the Berlin club music & breakcore pioneer is also charting new prog-rock-inspired territory. Utopia glides from the expansive opening track ("Ciccone Youth") to a minute-long maxi-minimalist title track sequenced jab. Then these forces collide under the shadowy "Infinite Organ", and the irresistibly funky polyrhythmic "Goldbluff" brings down the house to close it out.

Jason Forrest broke the Deathbomb Club rules a bit because -- after six years of aliased musical growth -- he couldn't keep things contained to just two songs. In fact, he's got an entire full-length prepped for 2011, so this mini opus is just a hint at what's in store for the next year.
